In short, by the exit polls:
- PiS (the current ruling party, right-wing) got the most votes, but cannot rule alone, nor can rule in coalition with the alt-right party Konfederacja by a decent margin (212 mandates total vs. 231 needed to have majority).
- The opposition parties (center-right Koalicja Obywatelska, center-right Trzecia Droga and leftist Lewica) together have majority. They know they have to make a government together, the question is whether they can overcome their differences. They did suggest strong coöperation during their campaigns.
- Highest-ever turnout (72%) in the elections.
- The accompanying referendum (a device to have more funds for promoting ideas by the current ruling party) a total failure (40% turnout—voters had to explicitly opt-out of participation!).

“It’s the end of the evil times, it’s the end of the PiS rule, we made it,” said Tusk
Lmao
Hope these are accurate! PiS’s actions towards democracy and free press are sickening
I know I should be more positive about this.
But PiS is still the strongest party. And they did more damage in their years of goverment than can be quickly repaired.
There will be also be no improvement in the EU as now Hungary has Slovakia as a new partner to block every progress.
So one step forward, two steps back as usual.
It’ll be up to the coalition to make changes that solve the problems PiS said they would solve by being fascists.
